One complaint about UHH.
If you were only allowed to have one complaint about your experience on UHH what would it be? What is the one thing you would like to see changed?

Having a strict rules "If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing!". I'm as guilty as anyone.
I hope this doesn't start a storm. Attitudes: Too many know-it-alls. Other than that...it's ok.
It would be that I do not have the time to mine all of the good info on the site.

Product identification, accurate information and a teaching moment, no politics, I get that from legitimate news venues.
Explain a teaching moment just don't show it!
I agree with "Shootist" (just above) -- that "I do not have the time to mine all of the good info on the site".
Patience!
There are many who come here because they just got a new camera and have questions, or they have come to the realization that digital photography will involve the use of a computer and the photographic software will require a knowledge of how that computer works. Many simply do not understand these things and have tons of questions.
We (myself included) need patience to realize we were 'one of them' at some point in time.

Dump the attic (or more appropriately the sewer). Anyone who repeats posting that stuff gets suspended: 30days for the first offense; second offense 90 days; third offense, I come take your gear.
unless it’s Canon stuff—then Sharp gets it.
Improving Navigation on the web site; E.I. "do not want to follow this subject" link. Make it more obvious ! Naturally once you are familiar with the site you know where those types of things are, but if you are a new member these things have to be "hunted" down to figure out.
Removing, unfollowing, Sold, etc... should be more obvious; maybe Red text, larger than normal text size, in the top main menu....etc !
Additional information on when and where the posted picture was shot. i.e. Big Bend Natl Park, Abilene, TX 10/14/2015. Info such as this helps when trip planning and assists with stopping points. Thanks

I agree but would take it a step further: "If you have nothing that directly constructively responds to the original post, say nothing!" There is one other improvement I would add, and that is to figure out some way to avoid all the duplication of questions -- maybe some sort of filtering by keywords so before someone posts a new question the poster is informed or directed to similar prior postings on the same subject matter.
To be kicked off for being truly insulting.
Responses to a post that add nothing to the discussion or don't answer the question ask by the OP.

Nothing to complain of: It is one of very few forums that is up to date, pretty much well administrated, and on the most part very helpfull.

My only complaint is that there are so many better photographers than me on the Hog
